-- * Quantum \"if then else\" statements
-- $ This section introduces a simple way of defining \"boolean statements\"
-- acting over qubits, that can then be used as the control in a quantum \"If
-- Then Else\" statement. The idea is that an ancilla is initialized that is in
-- the state represented by the boolean statement, and is then used to control the
-- two branches of the \"If Then Else\", before being uncomputed. The boolean
-- statements can contain \"and\", \"or\", and \"not\".
-- | We can use @(Boolean Qubit)@ to build up \"boolean statements\" over qubits
-- and use the \"boolean statement\" in an 'if_then_elseQ' construct.
--
-- > Example (for qubits a, b, c, d):
-- > (a and b) or !(c and !d) is written as:
-- > Or (And (A a) (A b)) (Not (And (A c) (Not (A d))))
data Boolean a = A a -- ^ 'A' /q/ means if /q/ == 'True'.
| Not (Boolean a) -- ^ 'Not' /b/ means the negation of the boolean statement /b/.
| And (Boolean a) (Boolean a) -- ^ 'And' /a/ /b/ means the and of the boolean statements /a/ and /b/.
| Or (Boolean a) (Boolean a) -- ^ 'Or' /a/ /b/ means the or of the boolean statements /a/ and /b/
deriving Show
-- Set the precedence for infix operators 'And' and 'Or'.
infixr 3 `And` -- same precedence as (&&)
infixr 2 `Or` -- same precedence as (||)
-- | Allow 'And' and 'Or' to be used as infix operators, with the same
-- precedences.
-- | Internally, a \"boolean statement\" is converted into a statement
-- that doesn't use /or/ (e.g., using De Morgan's laws).
data BooleanAnd a = AA a -- ^ 'AA' /q/ means if /q/ == 'True'.
| NotA (BooleanAnd a) -- ^ 'NotA' /b/ means the negation of the boolean statement /b/.
| AndA (BooleanAnd a) (BooleanAnd a) -- ^ 'AndA' /a/ /b/ means the and of the boolean statements /a/ and /b/.
-- | Convert any boolean formula to a formula using just /and/ and /not/. This conversion function uses De Morgan's law,
-- i.e.,
--
-- > A or B = !( !A and !B ),
--
-- but does not remove double negations. For a version that also
-- removes double negations, see 'booleanToAnd'.

-- | The definition of a quantum if_then_else structure
-- uses a \"boolean statement\" to create a single ancilla in the state defined by
-- the boolean statement, and uses this as a control for the two branches of the
-- if statement. The ancilla then needs to be uncomputed, this is achieved using
-- the other given \"boolean statement\", i.e., a new boolean statement that would
-- produce the state of the control ancilla, from the output state of the two
-- branches.This allows the branches to update the state of qubits used in the
-- original \"boolean statement\" as long as it is done in a
-- (reversible) known-manner.
-- This is useful for the WALK algorithm, where TOPARENT and TOCHILD are controlled
-- by the state of the direction register, but also change the state of the
-- direction register.
